Theodore sat on a chair in his office, with his eyes fixed on the computer. His slender fingers tapped on the table rhythmically.
A familiar ringtone rang from the side. Looking at the caller ID, the expressions of his eyes changed slightly, and a trace of joy arose in his heart.
When he picked up the call, his deep voice rang out in the quiet office. "What's wrong?" "Theodore, what do you mean by this?"
"Didn't you say that I should go to bed early last time? I've listened to you, but as a doctor, how can you not know how to take care of yourself? You are always eating sandwiches and instant noodles, and that's not healthy." Theodore knew that she would call him to question him.
He had already rehearsed his lines in his head.
She looked at the salad on the table and immediately sneered, "You will make my husband angry if you do this. Do you want our family to be in disharmony?"
"That day in the Trevino family, I could see that Christopher dotes on you very much. He'll do whatever you want. He won't blame you." His eyes darkened slightly, and he gritted his teeth. When he thought back to that day, his heart began to hurt again.
He didn't care whether or not he was really rejected, but he wanted to know what Everleigh was bearing on her shoulders.
Hearing his words, her eyes turned cold, and she felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart. It was so painful that she couldn't bear it.
"I'll accept the things from today, but don't give me anything else tomorrow."
"That's my own affairs." After that, he hung up the phone. He would never engage in small talks. This was just his character as he had always been resolute.
For the next few days, these things kept showing up in the hospital. Christopher didn't say anything at first, but later, he felt very strange. "Is he trying to pursue you again?"
"How could you tell?" Everleigh said without looking up.
"From everything. What does Theodore want? Is he trying to compete with me?"
She was speechless. "How would I know? You are just being too childish."
"Hmph, just you wait. I will bring you to have a nice breakfast tomorrow." He snorted coldly, picked up the food on the table, and walked out.
She shook her head helplessly. She felt that these two people were being really childish.
Theodore came to the bar to look for Leon in the evening. At this time, Leon had already been surrounded by beautiful women, and there were delicious dishes and wine. It was a very cheerful scene.
When he entered the room, the crowd looked at him, and their smiles froze on their faces.
"Why are you here?"
"Get out." Theodore walked over and ordered the other people in the room to get out.
Leon was well aware of this man's temper and disposition, thus he allowed those people to leave first.
Of course, he still felt a little reluctant to part with the ladies.
"Hurry up and get out!" Leon yelled.
The door was closed with a loud thud. The room used to be very noisy, but at that moment, it was lonely and empty.
"Why are you looking for me?"
"That plan of yours didn't work. She is giving everything I gave her to someone else." Theodore had asked Moses to go to the hospital to check on her as well, but in the end, she had given everything to someone else. She only ate the food that Christopher had brought for her.
Leon's mouth twitched slightly. "No way. It has been so many days, yet he still hasn't stopped yet," he thought to himself.
"Then, take her out for a date. I heard that there's a new place called Romantic Urban. It's for couples, especially for those who are in the pursuit of love. It's simply perfect for you two." Leon's face was full of pride. He initially wanted to go, but Selena had no time, thus he could only delay that thought for the time being.
